Husband has told me that I am not supposed to randomly exclaim, "It's almost Christmas!" until after Thanksgiving, but no one has told that to the local malls. They are already filled with Christmas decorations and a festive spirit. Despite the fact that I buy most of my gifts online, I love going shopping this time of year. The holiday energy puts me in such a good mood.

I love this time of year. Shopping for people I love, buying new coats, wearing comfy sweaters, drinking Gingerbread Spice Holiday Tea by Celestial Seasonings (I need to remember to stock up so I can continue to drink this all year around!) and spending time with friends and family. And the sales - don't forget the sales!

It doesn't hurt that my birthday is in early December. I get a birthday month instead of just one day because Husband spoils me. How could I not love the holiday season when celebrating my birth is part of the festivities?
